Every fifth holding is specialised in olive

production

This Statistics in Focus is part of a series of country-specific publications on

the results of the Farm Structure Survey (FSS) 2005. It provides a brief but

nevertheless comprehensive insight into the farm structure in Spain. A similar

publication was issued in March 2005 presenting the results of the FSS 2003

in Spain.

* * *

At the end of 2005 in Spain, about 959 thousand* agricultural holdings had

an economic size of at least 1 European Size Unit (ESU).

- These holdings employed 949.2 thousand AWUs (annual work units), the

equivalent of 949.2 thousand persons working full time;

- they made use of about 23.7 million ha of agricultural area, which is on

average 24.8 ha per holding (compared to 23.2 ha in 2003).

Among these 959 thousand agricultural holdings

- 62% made use of less than one AWU, while 11% made use of 2 or more

AWUs;

- 49% used less than 5 ha agricultural area, while 5% used 100 ha or more;

- 20% were holdings of the type specialist olives, 18% specialist fruit and

citrus fruit, 12% specialist cereals, oil seed and protein crops, 8%

specialist vineyard and 7% were engaged in mixed cropping;

- 77% of their agricultural area was situated in less favoured or mountain

areas;

- 2% were organic farms;

- 6% benefited from direct investment aid.

Among the 912 thousand

sole holders

- 28% were women;

- 58% were aged 55 or more, and only 6% were younger than 35 years;

- 27% had another gainful activity as their major occupation.

The survey on the structure of agricultural holdings in Spain was

carried out between 1 October and 31 December 2005 on a sample

basis. The previous full-scale agricultural census had been

conducted in 1999. The reference period of the farm structure

survey 2005 was the production year 2005 which ended on

30 September 2005. However, for livestock the reference date was

the day of the interview.

The target population was all holdings in the last agricultural census,

which exceeded one of the following three thresholds: at least 1 ha

UAA or at least 0.2 ha UAA under vegetables, flowers and

ornamental plants, production under protection or irrigated fruit trees

or nurseries or at least 1 LSU and 0.75 ESU. A stratified simple

random sample was drawn. The stratification was made separately

for each autonomous community (NUTS 2) based on type of farming

and size of the holding (5 size-classes determined by using

economic size, LSU, UAA, AWU, total area). In the strata, optimum

allocation was applied. Certain holdings were included in an

exhaustive stratum created with the use of the sigma-gap rule to

each key variable in each region. The total size of the sample was

about 55.000.

For each activity (`enterprise`) on a farm (for instance wheat, dairy

cow or vineyard), a standard gross margin (SGM) is estimated,

based on the area (or the number of heads) and a regional

coefficient. The sum of such margins in a farm is its economic size,

expressed in European Size Units (ESU). 1 ESU is equal to 1200

euros.

Each farm is classified in the community typology by its economic

size and its type of farming, depending on the share of each

enterprise in its economic size. For instance, a farm where breeding

sows account for more than 2/3 of the economic size, is classified as

specialist pig rearing

(type 5011). Depending on the level of

aggregation, farms are grouped into 8 to 70 types.

Annual work unit (AWU) is equivalent to a worker employed on a

full time basis for one year. In Spain it is 1824 hours (228 working

days of 8 working hours per day).

Livestock Unit (LU) is equivalent to a dairy cow. The number of

animals (number of heads) is converted into LU using a set of

coefficients reflecting the feed requirements of the different animal

categories.

Subsistence farming refers here to all farms below 1 ESU

economic size. Note that the number of farms cannot be compared

between countries due to the differences in coverage of FSS.

will exist in nearly all Member States as well as in some

EFTA countries.

Their mission is to provide help and guidance to Internet

users of European statistical data.
